Everybody Talks...


The reputation that a business has is very important.  It drives the perception of the public, the frequency of the customers, the opportunities to be involved with the local economy and community as well as the caliber of employees and customers that a business will have.  Competition is always going to be out there and often this is beyond the control of a business owner, manager or leader.  However, there are some pivotal elements of the business that can be controlled.  One of the best assets of a business is the staff.  The employees of a business create the best pathway to publicity… especially in smaller, rural settings.  The image that the employees portray and the opinions that they share about the workplace will be instrumental in how that business is viewed by potential customers, partners and the business community. 

Keep in mind how we always say that how a person behaves is usually an indication of what is going on at home… the same goes for a business.  The level of happiness and excitement that is shown by an employee is a good indication of how that person is treated in the work place and how satisfied they are with their job.  If a person is valued in their position and they are engaged while working, they will talk about this and it will seep into the other aspects of their lives both personal and social.  Employees can be the best form of advertising around!

 Happy employees make happy customers and happy customers help build companies!  

 What are you doing to ensure your team is talking up your company?  That they are sharing the positive aspects of the business and creating an attractive picture for the public?

BACK IN THE SADDLE…

Well, I feel like I did when I was a tweenager…I would clean my room (only because my mother was threatening to bring my social life to a sudden halt by grounding me from all peer interaction) and I would run across one of my old diaries.  I would suddenly become immersed in the sagas that I had descriptively journaled about and get very excited to “start again.”  Of course I would vow to be dedicated, diligent and consistent in my scheduled writing.  So in the spirit of that, I promise to do my best to be dedicated, diligent and consistent in my scheduled writing as I restart my practice of blogging! Much has happened in my world, but nothing too exciting for the last five plus months.  As I build up my archive of blog posts, I hope to share the bits and pieces with you.  One very notable occurrence was the release of my first book:  Rule of Thumb:  The Small Business Guide to Customer Service and Relationships.  If you are interested in ch...

The Process...

In our business and professional world, everyone seems focused on goals and results.     Although there is merit to people who are goal focused and produce positive results, we often overlook a valuable part of reaching those objectives. What happens between the starting point to the finish line can be the most important part of an initiative.  This is what I refer to as the process.  We are always in such a hurry to finish a project, to know the outcome and to have the end results that we rush through the process and forget to take in what was learned and how we grew professionally. We can correlate this to other more emotionally driven things that occur in life. We have all heard the saying…”it isn’t about the destination, but the journey that matters…” or something to that effect.  There is a great deal of truth in that, and we must remind ourselves to take it in.  We have to be aware of what is going on and happening as we...

In times of difficulty, what would you rather be doing? That one question could potentially solve a lot of inner confusion and turmoil both for those who are stuck in the common and for those venturing into the uncommon. That one question might sound foolish or selfish; however the answer is very enlightening. The answer to that one question reveals the desire of one’s being: the passion of one’s life. When we are discontent about our circumstances, we are forced to answer that one question: what would I rather b e doing? In the case of a person attempting to launch a new business the answer is often that he or she would rather have a mor...
